About Me

I am a stay at home mom and wife. On December 26, 2009, I gave birth to two beautiful boys named Gabriel Wayne and Grant Owen and my life hasn't been the same since. I started this blog to document our crazy chaotic life but I also blog about organizational tips, crafts, and recipes. If you have any questions, email me at lifewithbothhandsfull@hotmail.com

Play Room: Reading Nook

I LOVE children's books and wanted my kids to share that love of reading. When I saw these Rain Gutter Book Shelves, I knew it was what we needed for the boy's playroom. We put these up in September but I am just now getting around to showing you.

What I LOVE about the shelves:

- The boys can easily find the book they are looking for because all books are facing forward.

- It is a lot easier for a toddler to clean up books this way versus stacking.

NOTE: If you do these shelves, put ALL brackets on STUDS. We didn't put the middle ones on studs and the boys can now pull the screw out of the wall.

Stay tuned the rest of the week for how I decorated the playroom, how I organized it, and how they destroy it.

I love it! Nooks make reading so much cozier. My problem is that munchkin has too many books. I'm a reading specialist in a city school district so I have a love of books. I'm your newest follower. Thanks for sharing.
